Application/IoT solution consultation

Developing IoT applications or implementing IoT solutions can be confusing and challenging. We provide consulting services to help you make the most out of this new technology revolution. We work closely with you for an in-depth analysis of the problem, the perspective, the cost and challenges to ensure a feasible and most economical solution. In addition, prototyping and proof-of-concept can also be part of the consultation.

Inspired by the open source initiative and to offer low-cost solution with non-constrained R&D flexibility, the TIPoT platform is developed based on free open source software, with the following notable features:

Low-cost hardware platform.
A variety of sensing and display accessories (current examples include light, temperature & humidity, sensing and LCD display).
Free, feature-rich Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
Free, feature-rich network protocol analyzer.
Open source operating system, Contiki (www.contiki-os.org), offers extensive design, research and development flexibility.
Arduino shield pinout compatible.
Software suite includes typical sensing, monitoring, and control application examples, as well as an end-to- end application framework, all using TCP/IPv6 protocol over IEEE 802.15.4.
Significantly lowers the cost for test/experimental R&D and/or prototyping on TCP/IPv6 over wireless sensor network.
